Teuku Umar, one of the figures against the Dutch applying for Cut Nyak Dhien. At first Cut Nyak Dhien refused, but because Teuku Umar allowed him to join the battlefield, Cut Nyak Dhien agreed to marry him in 1880. They were blessed with a child named Cut Gambang. [1] After his marriage to Teuku Umar, Cut Nyak Dhien along with Teuku Umar fought together against the Dutch. However, Teuku Umar died while attacking Meulaboh on February 11, 1899, so he fought alone in the interior of Meulaboh with his small army. Cut Nyak Dien was old and had gout and myopic disease, so one of his troops named Pang Laot reported his existence by pity. [2] [3] He was eventually arrested and taken to Banda Aceh. There he was treated and his illness began to heal. However, its existence adds to the spirit of resistance of the people of Aceh. He is also still in touch with the Acehnese warriors who have not been caught yet. As a result, Dhien was banished to Sumedang. Tjoet Nyak Dhien died on November 6, 1908 and was buried in Mount Puyuh, Sumedang. The name Cut Nyak Dhien is now immortalized as Cut Nyak Dhien Nagan Raya Airport in Meulaboh.
